Dedication

I dedicate this book to my granddaughters, Tayla and Mya. May God bless you both with a love for and gift of poetry! I also dedicate this book to poetry lovers everywhere. May the poet in you emerge as you read N-AWE!

Foreword

It gives me great pleasure to write the foreword for N-AWE. I have known Dr. Rosalind Y. Lewis Tompkins for over two decades. She has a powerful testimony of how the Lord Jesus Christ set her free from a life of drugs and alcohol. The good news is that she has been free now for more than thirty years. She has a passion for seeing lives changed by the power of God in fulfilling their destinies.

The Lord has supernaturally graced her with an incredible gift of poetry. She shares practical insights and reveals the heart of the Father, bringing healing and restoration that she received by divine impartation to wounded warriors.

As a mentor, coach, and spiritual father for over three decades, I have met with many people who needed inner healing from secrets located below the surface. This is known as the iceberg theory, which is defined as problems that are located 90 percent below the surface and 10 percent above. These anointed poems go deep below the surface and are personal, powerful, and prophetic. They will be a healing balm to your mind, will, and emotions, resulting in wholeness in every area of your life.

As I read N-AWE, it was very difficult to stop reading because of the anointing on these poems. They brought tears to my eyes over and over again and touched the very core of my being. I know that this book will do the same for you as you read her story in poetic form from her adventurous journey in life.

This book is a must read for all those who want their lives to be radically transformed emotionally, relationally, interpersonally, behaviorally, physiologically, psychologically, and spiritually.

As you will read in the pages that follow, poetry can encourage us to make it through tough times, because the words of an anointed poet deposit hope in our hearts. Poetry is spoken from the heart and helps to tell stories in very unique ways.

Get ready for an experience that you will hold dear to your heart from His heart.

I highly commend Dr. Rosalind for this vital contribution to the body of Christ and recommend this book as a powerful resource. I know that these inspired poems will be a tremendous blessing to you as you read them.
